Hehe, ok that confirms the theory, the Huayra makes it a lot harder. I guess you could always try taking a 650pp Huayra yourself...

Did the Suzuka race at the second attempt in the fully tuned FD with a Medium 4 - Soft 3 - Soft 3 tyre strategy, pretty close.
Then had a runaway win at Brands, almost a minute ahead, using two sets of Hards. It rained and all the AI cars pitted, I stayed out. Then it dried up and they pitted again, I kept right on lapping.

Had an exciting win at the Ring. Set out on Hards, it soon started raining and reached 100% during my first lap, so very slippery.
End of lap 1, I pitted and put on Intermediates, went out and was going quite a bit faster than the AI. During this lap it stopped raining, end of the lap water was at 32%.
So I stay out, with a minute's lead, and go onto the last lap on Intermediates on a fast-drying track. Unsurprisingly perhaps, the inters start to wear very rapidly. I'm fine until the long straight, where I think I'm home and dry, so blow out the last of my nitrous. What I didn't realise was that I am spinning the rears all the way along the straight, reducing them from 3 to 1 out of 10. I have a massive accident at the left-hand kink under the bridge, then crawl over the line with rear tyres on 0/10, slewing wildly around but still taking the win.

Just lost at Silverstone, the F1 GTR Race car was ~45 secs ahead in a dry race. Time to swap to a car with downforce perhaps?

So, I got a race without the F1, but with the 'GT by Citroen Race Car'. I thought I'll give it a go, put Medium tyres on the FD, and set off.

Was in 2nd, close behind the Citroen, when I pitted at the end of lap 5. Tyres were about 4 or 5, so put on another set of the same.
End of lap 6, the Citroen pits and I take a ~5s lead. Next few laps I extend that to 14s.
But I've obviously been pushing harder in this second stint, and by the last lap my rear tyres get down to 2. Because they're so loose, the car fishtails around, and the situation becomes a vicious circle. In the last few corners I end up crawling around with TC turned on, fishtailing everywhere, and end up staggering over the line with rear tyres on 0, half a second ahead of the Citroen after 21'30 of racing.

Anyway, I think if I'd taken a bit better care of the tyres on the second stint I could have beat the Citroen more comfortably.
